I got the 124.9 MB zip file and am currently seeding it back. If anyone wants to get it I have Transmission set to no limit for the upload and I can send at 400-500 KB/s. I am also downloading the ISO, but that will take longer. It's 4.0 GB and after 15 minutes I have only 25 MB. But maybe it will pick up. Torrents do that. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
